USNCO美国化学奥赛辅导课程
考试内容
USNCO美国国家化学奥赛难度介于中学化学和大学化学之间，知识点全面，且以无机化学为主。相比AP化学，USNCO在分子轨道，酸碱平衡，能斯特方程当方面难度加大，对于AP化学中的有机，生化弱项，USNCO亦有要求，总体无机部分占比90%左右，其余为有机和生化部分。此次USNCO课程不仅仅针对USNCO首轮，我们会增加有机内容，对美高学员有额外帮助（美高学员可以晋级第二轮USNCO National），除了冲击奖项外，同样适合AP,IB,Alevel课程学员的学科考试。
适应对象
USNCO美国化学学会 (ACS) 主办，是美国极具影响力的高中化学竞赛
此次USNCO，所有对化学感兴趣的学生均可参加，特别是准备申请美国理工科专业，以及准备明年AP化学大考的学生
课时：50小时
